chapters/IO: Create signals section #138

@Alex-deVis

Description

@Alex-deVis

Signals are an important interprocess communication (IPC) mechanism of the OS that is currently missing from the I/O chapter. It would be nice to have:

  • a brief reading material describing the importance of sending, receiving, and ignoring signals, and the API.
  • a task that builds on the previous examples, maybe something along the lines of sending SIGINT, ignoring SIGHUP, or attempting to handle SIGESGV.
